United behind the common causes of freedom and gratitude, nine Tristate cities are joining forces on Sunday, Nov. 10, to sponsor Freedom is not Free, a Veterans' Day celebration at Turfway Park, 7500 Turfway Road.

The event features music from the 202nd Army Band of the Kentucky National Guard, Xavier University Symphonic Winds, Southern Gateway Chorus, Cincinnati Sound Chorus, Voices of the Commonwealth, Three Guys and a Piano, and Joy Burdette; as well as appearances by Mr. Redlegs and Gapper from the Cincinnati Reds and Twister from the Cincinnati Cyclones.

Joe Hinds, Freedom is not Free is sponsored by Florence, Covington, Alexandria, Independence, and Carrollton in Kentucky; Hamilton, Montgomery, and West Chester in Ohio; and Rising Sun in Indiana.
